Other Joomla tools which are readily available at present include the Joomla Search Extractor, the Adwords Competitors, the Meta Tag Generator and the Related Keywords tools.

So long the the Joomla web site is focused on the concept that web sites are written for humans, not search engines, the Joomla tools above can be very helpful. If the work is done to prepare and present information related to your site, and an effort is made to use appropriate keywords without overusing them, the Joomla website ranking will be equivalent to those websites prepared using other tools.

The number of tools prepared by Joomla members expands as more and more web designers see the value of sharing the work rather than attempting to hide it. The development of your own website will always have your unique stamp on it, as no two websites are exactly the same.

These tools just make it easier to compare available data so that you can make the decision as to which keywords to emphasize and how to display them in a way that makes sense to the human reader, but still recognizes the fact the the search engines will be reviewing the site as well.
